THE MALAY FOWL. 167 



" I saw a lot of Black Malay Hens in Hungerford market, 

 and with them a red Cock with a black breast and tail ; the 

 quills of his tail were white. I was at first inclined to think 

 that they had a cross of the Spanish; but when I recol- 

 lected to have seen Fowls of exactly the same appearance, 

 though somewhat smaller, in Devon, I changed my opinion."
